I have one of the original Stings from many years ago.
The price on the new ones are very good.

I like it but I like the original Sting better.

I have the new Sting...great knife!
I missed out on the original Stings in '77, but convinced my wife that this one
would be an early Christmas present.

It's very solid, takes a fantastic edge(s), and like all AGR knives, the fit & finish is top rate.

how is the sheath ?

The sheath is EXCELLENT!
Heavy leather, stitched well, metal belt clip.
The leather finish is superb, smooth and shiny, in a very dark brown color.
Fits the knife well.

Welcome, Jeremiah.
AGR is a great company to deal with.
I ordered by phone via credit card and the knife arrived 3 days later.

Great. Just when I thought I don't need anything for a while...

So whats the overall impression. Does anyone have one that also has one of the original? Looks like the handle is a bit thicker and the blade is a bit thicker and wider, just enough to easily notice its a new one. I'm thinking about one of these to retire out another one. the CRKT just didnt cut it for me, I couldnt put down my black chrome for it
